In case you missed it

Travis d’Arnaud went 3-for-5 and drove in the tie-breaking run in the ninth as the Mets beat the Padres, 5-4, Friday at Petco Park.

Also in the NL East, the Nationals and Marlins lost, while the Braves defeated the Phillies.

Daisuke Matsuzaka is headed to the bullpen, in advance of Jon Niese likely joining the rotation later this week. However, Matsuzaka is not expected to pitch the next few days, just in case Niese has a set back.

The Mets have currently held the opposition to 5 or fewer runs in 18 games in a row. That's the longest such streak for the Mets in 30 years -- the last time the Mets had a longer such streak was May/June 1984. The Mets team record for such a streak is 24 games, from late in the 1977 season through the beginning of the 1978 season.
